Kalonzo Musyoka told lawyers in Machakos that Kenya is heading toward revolutionary conditions, and he thinks the upcoming election won't be a standard democratic process if things keep going the way they are. The Wiper party leader spoke at a late-night legal forum attended by judges, magistrates, Governor Wavinya Ndeti, and Governor Mutula Kilonzo Junior. He called out recent by-elections in places like Mbeere North and Malava as sketchy, claiming police were helping thugs instead of keeping order.
The former VP pushed lawyers to step up their defense of constitutional principles and accountability. He brought up court cases challenging airport privatization plans and potential Safaricom sales, questioning why the government would dump such a profitable company. Kalonzo praised a High Court decision that went against Isiolo's governor and deputy governor after they switched parties post-election, saying voters' choices need to be respected. He warned that without major changes, credible candidates won't even bother running for office anymore.
